Plum in color with it going black in the core. On the nose are baking spices, black raspberries, blueberries and cocoa powder. The palate is rich with cherries, chocolate, and pepper. Mid length finish.Very Good.

Buzz: A local family business, John & Peggy Bigelow run this winery is perched on a hillside just up from the Sammamish valley in Woodinville. Dedicated to crafting great wine with great grapes they recently bought a site in the Blue Mountains and planted their first estate owned vineyard, Margaret's Vineyard. Using specialized farming including tightly spaced vines and one cluster per fine is going to give this vineyard great concentration in it's grapes for years. This is their inaugural vintage having just planted it in 2007. This is a very classic Bordeaux blend of grapes and I'm excited to see the progression of these wines from their vineyards as the vines mature and develop in the coming years.
